people, located on the Chicago IL North
western road. fourteen miles west of
Woolsey and about thirty miles west of

farming district, settled by thrifty agri
culturists. Among these was Michael

diligent labor has improved his farm until
1t has become very valuable. and he had
come TO he looked upon as one of the
well-to-do settlers Mr.. Harris family
consisted of him self, wife aud seven
children, the eldest of whom was girl
aged fifteen years, The wind had been
blowing stiffiy from the north, and II was
bitterly cold. The family retired, leaving
brisk fire of soft coal burning in the
stove in the sitting-room. About mid
night Harris was awakened by smoke
that had filled the room occupied by him.
self, his wife, and baby, few months
old. He sprang from the bed and at
tempted to rouse his wife, who was prob
ably unconscious, and after dragging her
from the bed he was so overcome by the
smoke that he fell to the floor, and in
half dead condition, made his way through
the kitchen and into the yard. where he
fell unconscious in the snow.
The Oldest daughter, who slept upstairs,
jumped from window in her night
clothes and found her father lying in
the snow. The house was by this time
in flames, and the poor girl in her frenzy
endeavored TO arouse her father from his
stupor, not thinking Of the unfortunate
inmates of the building. When she had
succeeded the flames had so far destroyed
the building as to make it impossible to
save any other members of the family.
Maddened beyond control by the thought
of his wife aud children being consumed

essayed to dash into the burning building,
but he was prevented from doing so
by bis daughter, who chung to his legs

getting in, and was just backing from the
main track on to the siding, when the
westbound train came up with such speed
that it could not be controlled. The en-
CINE struck the backing train near the
middle, glancing blow. The cars were
thrown from the track and the engine de-
rallied and badly broken up. A brakoman,
whose name could not be learned was
knocked from the train sand run over,
sustaining serious injuries about the hips.
